This entire video sure was a ride to make XD
So this idea came to me when I watched an edit on Insta that apparently was made from the editor asking people to comment what effects to use, and then it hit me that I'd like to do this too XD However, I asked two of my best friends, and, oof XDD First of all I really like the differences in what they recommended XD
One recommended the ''worst'' effects and transitions in Vegas, with a list, while the other gave specific and detailed ideas XD
I tried to mix together both of their recommendations, also ^^
Also I'd like to say that despite one of my bestie's recommending ''bad'' effects - I actually feel like - yea, some of them are quite bad - but others, it's about how you use them! XD Like, playing around with the sliders and also keyframing can make a big difference XD
In fact, I think I found two effects here that I would actually, possibly like to continue using! One of them I even was struggling to make in another project, so I'm happy I found it XD It's BCC Invert Solarize and BCC Trails :3
At first I only wanted to use Aki, but that way the video making process reeeeeeeeally dragged out bc I had no idea what clips of her to use XD At one point I was considering adding Judai, but I didn't. And then eventually I decided to use Tifa bc why not XD
It was a trip to also make effects that I've never done before, like the 3D pyramid, the ''3D Circle'' (Which I couldn't fully make bc the 3D Ray Tracing renderer in AE would give me ''failed to initialize'' errors and that it would exceed my GPU's capabilities if I would use it. I wanted to extrude the masks, but thanks to this I couldn't ^^''), and the halo effect :3
And also putting effects together in a way that I'm not used to doing! ^^
The only effects I added on my own, to create the ''vibe'' of the song, were the B&W effect, blur for text, occasional zooms, and Twixtor at one point ^^ The rest were everything that was recommended to me ^^
And of course I kept the progress of the video a surprise to both of them, as well as what exactly the other recommended to me, and today I finally gave them the reveal of this XD
In general, this was a whole lot of fun to make :3
Aaand, I suppose that's all I wanted to say! OWO
So I really hope that y'all enjoy this thingy! :3

Yaaallll! Im baaaacckk!! Goodness gracious, its been too long ;w;
And! Im returning with a longer edit this time, which is not only a remake of one of my older edits - Sonic - Miserable - but also a gift for my amazing girlfriend, @EnchantedNebula, on our anniversary! ^w^ And thiiiss particular remake was made because this was one of the first videos of mine that Enchi saw and through which she found me, and she had suggested remaking this about 2 years back, and now this project has finally seen the light of day, after being worked on for quite some time x3
To Katie:
By now you have already seen this video, and im very happy that you really liked iiiit!~ ^w^ And i had time, so i was able to tweak it as well ;3 And im happy you liked the other gifties i got you tooo!~ :D cant wait to receive the one u have planned for me ;D uwu
Honey, I wanna let you know that memories, even little ones, from me visiting you late last year still come into my mind on a nearly daily basis, and not a single day goes by that i dont think of you 💖x33
The joy and inner peace and happiness that i feel around your presence is so immense and pure, and i cherish every moment we get to spend together x33 As i mentioned to you, youre the most wonderful treasure, and you mean the world - the sky, and all of the stars combined - to me; youre the brightest sunshine of my days 💖💖 uwu Im extremely excited to continue our journey through life together, and may these following years continue to bring us happiness and bring us even closer together - i love you with all my heart! ❤️❤️❤️ cx lots of hugs and cuddles from me to you hehe :D 💖
About the video itself:
BOOIIIII while this was 2 years in the making, frankly, the actual time it took to edit this was much less - it did still end up being some weeks straight of editing :o
i didnt wanna reuse every clip, bc imo some clip choices of mine just dont make sense in the original - so i experimented with a new clip flow; re-set some clips in 2022, then uuuhh- didnt edit this for 2 years after that i think ;w; legit, i think i came back to this project in around march-april of this year and finished setting the clips, and then decided that i want this to be my gift to Enchi this year for our anniversary c: however, i was still struggling with the next thing after clips - the style, the look, the feel - everything else. had no clue what i wanted this to look like for the longest time ;w; eventually, it struck me that i could try to show the irony in the lyrics by making my effect choices ironic - mixing together unreadable text, randomly flying 3D/2D shapes and text, moving lines. It was pretty chaotic. As i got to editing, i quickly realized that my idea was a bit Too chaotic to remake and Still be Visually understandable. So i decided to minimize the amount of stuff i wanted, and went with mostly readable fonts, overlaying text with different sizes, colors and blend modes (that was so fun btw uwu) and some light 3D elements. I made nearly every spinny shape at 0:06 manually in Vegas, and lemme tell ya, it was CLUNKY, so i stopped trying that after that attempt and just made overlays in AE instead ;w;
Used a lot of the lighten blend mode here, which i dont use often! Cool transparency effects with that one c:
And by the time this was done and i was watching back the comparison, i thought my remake was lookin like one of those company de-brandings where they lost their personality and identity lool XD
The only not-so good part about editing this was that i was quite hung up on making it perfect in my own eyes, which tired me out so much. Eventually, i beat out perfectionism and i still feel happy with this video - it makes me even happier that Enchi likes it c:
Some fun facts about the original edit!
I actually tried to match the clips with the lyrics somewhat, or how i understood them! Used dramatic clips and tried to capture the irony in the lyrics too.
I originally edited the video, and lots of my other old uploads, in 4:3! But back then, i didnt think 4:3 videos wouldve gained much attention, so i re-rendered my videos and stretched them to 16:9 exclusively for Youtube back then, and then also added my watermark to them. I also had no clue what disable resample was, hence why theres ghosting on my older uploads ^^ But i think 4:3 videos get more appreciation nowadays c: So now yall get to see the video in its original quality and resolution!
That shall be all now!~ I hope you all enjoy this remake! :3
Oh and ill be back in just a moment, trust me XD
I hope you all have a wonderful day/night, and that something brings a smile to you today ^w^
